Deutz-Fahr AgroStar 6.28 or Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 6.20?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the AgroStar 6.28 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Agrotron 6.20 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Deutz-Fahr Agrotron 6.20 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 51% (27.8 L/min / 7.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 42% (2,740 kg / 6,041 lb) more three-point lift.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.
